yay! bring out the Champaign and noise makers!!
so with today being a full week .. I played housewife (no.. not out of kindness of my heart.. but because Ii had a day off and Aryk left his dishes in the sink this morning) BUT I also ran errands, got the groceries, swept, organized (these were all by choice) and spent a fair chunk of my day making dinner!
(yes I took photos for evidence) (no the photos do not make it look very tasty)
I made Broccoli and pepper rizotto! its all:
Vegetable broth separate pot
in pan... butter, garlic.. oil.. onions,
throw in the rice.. throw in white wine..let is soak out everything
throw in some of the vegetable broth..
let the rice fatten..
put more broth in..
let rice fatten..
let broth in...
cut up broccoli.. cup up peppers..
more broth..
grate up 2 lemons..
put in basil.. put in salt and pepper..
put in something else that I can't remember while currently blogging...
AND because I used LONG rice instead of SHORT RICE (thank you dad for calling me to give me such educational information) I didn't have to use so much broth in it. SOOOO I CUT UP SOME ONIONS ETC AND MADE IT INTO ONION SOUP FOR US TO HAVE FOR DINNER TOMORROW!! OH MY GOSH I AM SO EXCITED!
"is there some sort of cheese in this?" "i'm shocked, you know.. like when you have that shocked feeling because it is so good" (should I be insulted by that one?) "mmmmMMmm yum" "no.. like this is actually SO GOOD" "Im really impressed!" - some quotes of Aryk's reaction to the grub. we also had garlic bread..
he however ruined dessert. how you ask? cause he's tall :( I made strawberries dipped in chocolate but I HID THEM as a surprise treat, but I hid them on the fridge... and he is taller than me.. so.. he saw them pretty much as soon as he got home.. haha boo. but at least he was excited? now I'm drinking tea.. writing in blog.. listening to hockey.. and happy, content.. etc
HOWEVER after playing housewife I realized that I really do want to figure out what I want my future career to be.. and not get stuck in not going back to school.. cause.. I do not want to be a housewife..
